The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 240 Mrs. Xiao also thinks Ergou is a scoundrel and a thief.

In the history of China, there are only a few people who have carried out reforms.

Not to mention the group of bastards in modern times, there are three historically recognized reformers: Shang Yang of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, Anshi, the king of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the reforms of Shang Yang and Zhang Juzheng can be considered successful.

Shang Yang's reforms created a strong Qin Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the unification of China.

Zhang Juzheng's reforms continued the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for 50 years.

However, the endings of these two people were not very good. Shang Yang was directly torn apart by a car, and after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, his old mother starved to death, his family was exiled, and even he himself was almost cut into a coffin and whipped to death.

The ending of Wang Anshi, the apparent failure of the reform, was different from that of his two colleagues. Although he caused countless waves in the Song Dynasty, he finally died a happy death, but it cannot but be said to be an anomaly.

The biggest reason for this result is the good personal ethics of Wang Anshi and his family.

In Wang Anshi's later years, he could be said to be a lonely minister. Not only the old party members who opposed the reform were his enemies, but even his students and reformists (such as Lu Huiqing) regarded him as a thorn in his side. However, these People can attack Wang Anshi's knowledge, governance measures, and even his disloyalty, but no one has ever been able to attack the character of Wang Anshi and his family.

Wang Anshi has never been polite, selfish, or arrogant. His children are also the same, just like Hai Qingtian of the Ming Dynasty. My family has no desires and is strong. What can you do to me? !

Compare Shang Yang's utilitarian desire (Yishi Eer) and Zhang Juzheng's arrogance and extravagance. Although the Wang family has a somewhat miserable fate, it is just fate and not a man-made disaster.

Just like Mrs. Xiao at this time, after her husband Wang Yu died of illness, she had to raise her daughter alone and endure hardships. After her daughter got married, she moved into a women's temple to be with Qing Deng and support herself.

What Mrs. Xiao did was not just to gain fame, but also a kind of wisdom for survival.Because those enemies who hate Wang Anshi will definitely seize every stain on their bodies and attack them.

For example, in history, Wang Anshi's second son Wang Pang was added to the library position in this year, and the secretary was responsible for correcting typos in articles. He was soon attacked on the grounds of madness. Although Zhezong did not deal with the matter, but Wang Pang died of illness soon after.

But in this timeline, Wang Pang's story is happening right now.

Although Mrs. Xiao didn't know what was going to happen to Wang Pang, she knew very well that if the money used by the Pang family to buy the house came from unknown sources, or if there was something wrong with her disciple, then the matter would inevitably be implicated from the Pang family to the Wang family. To be precise, it is the posthumous name of the father-in-law Wang Anshi.

Therefore, when Mrs. Xiao said something so embarrassing, Mrs. Xiao's expression changed.

Madam Xiao knew that her aunt was paranoid about protecting the reputation of the Wang family, but she immediately realized that her random words just now caused a misunderstanding.

She smiled bitterly and said: "Don't blame me, aunt. I suffered a small loss at the hands of Chen Jiazi. I was angry for a while but was a little unscrupulous. In fact, that guy is a very good little brother..."

At the moment, Madam Xiao told Madam Xiao the origin of Ergou, except for his identity as a demon suppressor.

When Pang's family remarried, no one in the Wang family knew the details except Wang Anshi. Mrs. Xiao heard about Ergou's life experience, but she said: "It turns out that Pang's wife actually married a retired soldier back then, but she was miserable. She! Then since the Chen family is a descendant of the Chen family, why does the Chen family have no complaints when he spends such money?"

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "My aunt is too worried. Although the Chen family is from a humble background, he is a rare hero. Although he is young, he regards money as dirt, and he has the virtue of sacrificing his life for righteousness. Agu Pang used his money without any trouble. ." Mrs. Xiao nodded and said: "Even so, Pang cannot take it for granted that he accepts money from others for free, and he must pay it back in the future. I have some wealth accumulated over the years. Although I only get a few hundred dollars, I can still get it. Please do your best for Pang, and in a few days you can pick it up from me and give it to her to pay off her debt."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she frowned and said, "My aunt is so embarrassed for her niece! I took it, and how could Aunt Pang be willing to accept it? She regarded the Chen family as her own child, and her aunt gave her money to pay off her debts. It is nothing less than a humiliation for the two of them! If my aunt wants to help, it would be better to give the Chen family boy some of Wang Jingong's relics, such as inkstones, handwritten letters, etc."

Mrs. Xiao was surprised: "Why is this?"

Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "The Chen family has only been in school for a year, but he is very talented. Recently, he has become even less talented in Bianliang City. He has written several poems that are very impressive, but his foundation is not strong. The handwriting is so bad that even a six or seven-year-old Meng Tong is inferior, but it makes people laugh."

Speaking of which, after Ergou showed off his writing skills like a dog and a reptile in the Li family, the Wang family of the Li family did not hide it at all. The next day, it spread among the circle of ladies and close friends, but it made the boss Pang feel shameless. .

However, it is no wonder that Er Gou failed to live up to his expectations for such things. Even Master Pang herself had to bear greater responsibilities, so she never mentioned anything to Er Gou.

The Queen Wang followed with her child in her arms, but asked curiously: "Cousin, you said that the Chen family's son is not only talented but also writes good poems, but you don't know what kind of poems he wrote?"

Because of her status as Sword Princess, Madam Xiao was better informed than the average person, so she knew a thing or two about the two words and four poems that Ergou had "copied".

She knew that her cousin was a good poet, but she smiled and wrote two poems from "Huanxisha": "Half the setting sun descends from the small building", "I want to ask how thin Jiang Mei is"; four poems: "Mo Mei", "Ode to Beauty" ], [quatrains], and [a trip to the garden is not worth it] were all recited.

When Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wang heard it, they only knew her family's origins, but they were also surprised by the high level of these poems.

Mrs. Wang was pleasantly surprised and said: "A few days ago, I heard people talk about those two lyrics and music, and I just said who wrote them. I still have a sweet taste in my cheeks after reading them. I wish I could see them in person! I didn't expect such good music. It was actually written by one of our own children! Auntie, we are a little late!"

Mrs. Xiao said with some tangle: "Don't let people praise you for your good color, just leave the pure energy to fill the world. Such good writing is not in line with the talents and virtues of my father-in-law. It's a pity that it was given to that guy from the Li family. It's really a waste." Such a beautiful poem!”

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Auntie, you don't know, but the boy from the Chen family has fallen in love with the young lady from the Li family, and the purpose of writing that poem is somewhat impure, just to flatter his future father-in-law."

Then Mrs. Xiao took the two dogs to Li's house to meet the young lady, but was kept in trouble by Li Gefei and a few others. She said "quatrains" and "a visit to the garden is not worth it" vividly.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wang heard it, but they couldn't help but laugh.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "The garden is full of spring scenery, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall! It's a shame that boy is so bold, but he made a joke in front of Li Gefei. No wonder Xiao Xiaoer, you called the boy a rogue and a thief. , It’s really cunning!”

Madam Xiao looked at her aunt with a smile on her face, thinking that she had gotten over this matter.

Madam Wang over there smiled even brighter, but said: "Cousin, let's talk about the little brother of the Chen family! He is such an interesting person, he should have many interesting stories to tell!"
